Yay! I'm so excited about the video! After reading the other knitting machine hack tutorial I decided to get a KH930e from ebay. I've been rocking a non-electric brother knitting machine for the past 5 years, but I think this is going to change my world!
Thank you so much for this video. Very intriguing and it looks like once you are familiar with the machines (computer software and the Brother KH-930e Knitting Machine), that it could be considered instant gratification in afternoon. Thank you again!!!
You made some changes to an FTDI cablel... Can you tell us more about that, please? The FTDI cables that I see on line have 4 holes, but the receptacle on the kh930 (and 940 and 965i) has 8 pins. Diagrams and instructions for modifying the cable would be really helpful.
Great video and channel. What machine would you recommend for me I am trying to make little 1 inch to 4-inch size little dolls and wants very close or tighter type stitches that normally you can get with 2.5 knitting needle size but that's very hard on my hands so I thought this machine would work just don't know which machine I should get. Can you recommend some to me? Thank you
@VEINTE91 the 868 is NOT computerized. Only a 930 or higher will work in this manner. The 800 series are punchcard manual machines. Google knitting machine brother and you will find videos using regular punch card machines as well as electronic. Brothers are also known as KnitKing. The Studio/Silver or Singer version of electronic knitting machines are 800 series machines, anything else is manual patterning system, PASSAP is the best. You can find these on ebay, or in classified ads.
hi Becky, I like your video a lot ! very inspirational. i would like to buy a knitting machine (brother electronic) and connect it to a computer which than would allow us to knit complex patterns form a computer software. could you help to configure a good setup? i would like to use as many colours as possible (min 6) and do not quite understand what the number of colours are depending on. ideally 6 colours (or more) + background colour would be great! also i would prefer to use the whole width of the machine and the pattern would be full with as well (what does the pattern width depends on?) also if you can give some insight on the Brother electronic knitting machine range KH and which models are doing what and what are the differences between those models? or if you could recommend a model to get that would be great! thank you.
Where did you buy this machine? Can I make hats on this machine. I want to make a special hat. I can make everything by hand, but I got injured at work and my hands does not allow me to do the manual knitting and I need a lot breaks. Even before I knew knitting and crochet, I always wanted machine knitting since I exist.
Hola!! Soy de Argentina tengo una máquina electrónica 940 y quiero el programa y el cable para conectar a mi máquina. Vos vende el programa. Gracias Gracias Saludos
Hi, im from spain and i could buy a brother kh-868, but i cant find anything about how it works, do you know if this one could work as yours? could i hack it too? thanks
all you need now is a robotic arm which moves the Knitting carriage back and forth for you, and it'll be autonomous, and self operating. Just be careful, that it doesn't become self-aware like HAL from 2001 Space Odyssey, and it'll plot against you. lol
Haha, thats nice work. But i want to mention that the first thing i thought was ' Holy Shit! Scott Pilgram + Bill Gates + Boobs! Where is your god nao oO'

Hey, I love this!
Is it easy to make a machine or is it always better to start with an old commercial knitting machine?
Really cool, Becky! Don't have electronic machine, just the regular once. Nevertheless, very amazing!
